Chapter 58: Interrogation Department Prohibits Working at Night!

In the early morning, Lolth, who woke up as usual, planned to go out to the town to buy some breakfast and taste the town’s breakfast quality.

But this plan was interrupted.

Because as soon as the door of the torture tower opened, Lolth saw Isabella sitting at the entrance, which startled her.

"What’s wrong?"

She pushed open the door and saw Isabella sitting on the steps, looking tired and worn out from the trauma to her soul, appearing drowsy and listless.

Lolth almost didn’t recognize the other person at first.

Upon closer inspection, Lolth became even more curious upon realizing it was Isabella.

"Isabella? Why do you look like this?"

The concerned words fell on Isabella’s ears, but turned into pure sarcasm and disdain.

She looked at Lolth, her eyes devoid of any light.

"Isn’t this what you wanted to see?"

She looked at Lolth and whispered softly.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

After sleeping all night, Lolth didn’t understand why the girl suddenly looked so messy, with a desperate expression on her face.

Could it be that she didn’t cook for her last night, and she was hungry all night?

It doesn’t seem like it though.

But Isabella had no intention of continuing the conversation, just quietly waiting for Lolth’s "punishment".

Afterward, Lolth looked at the magic bag beside the other person and felt confused seeing a bunch of seeds, seedlings, eggs, and young animals inside.

If she was really hungry, it was understandable to steal eggs and young animals to eat, and some seeds can also be eaten…

What’s the deal with the seedlings?

At this moment, Tina, who had also just gotten up behind Lolth, was already dressed in a neat maid outfit and standing behind her.

"Good morning, Master Lolth… No need to pay attention to this person anymore, I reminded her last night," Tina stood half a step behind Lolth, looking down at Isabella, "See, you came back after all, didn’t you?"

Faced with Tina’s sarcasm, Isabella didn’t respond, just continued to stay silent.

Lolth felt the awkward atmosphere between these two people, finding it strange too!

Although she didn’t know before that the two of them were plotting to escape, Lolth felt that they seemed very close.

She was surprised at first that the two of them could get along, but considering these two captives had become "friends," they hadn’t caused any trouble, which was good for her.

But today, it was clear that these two were having a conflict!

Even Tina, who usually seems gentle most of the time despite being easily startled, appeared like a different person, which greatly surprised Lolth.

Is this what a fight between girls is like!

She felt it was necessary for her to intervene.

However, the first thing she needed to figure out was the reason for the argument between the two.

Lolth started a simple reasoning analysis.

"Hmm… the problem must be with that magic bag!"

"The items inside seem to be similar to the ones in the laboratory… Isabella doesn’t have access to that place…"

"In other words, she asked Tina to get it for her? A noble knight wouldn’t resort to stealing, right…?"

"But what did she take it out for?"

First, ruled out the possibility of taking it out to eat, even though this was considered at first, upon further thought, it seemed too absurd.

Secondly, it shouldn’t be for selling, with nobody around in the small town late at night, she wouldn’t go out to sell things.

So the answer is quite simple!

Isabella wanted to start building a farm and raise new crops and animals at night to show she is important.

However, her ideas clashed with Tina, who had been studying agriculture for a while.

Tina knew how hard it was to grow new crops, so she didn’t want to try without proper guidance.

Isabella, a noble lady though not very hardworking, thought farming was easy and didn’t require much knowledge or training.

This led to a conflict between the two.

In the end, Isabella, feeling lost, spent the night trying to figure out what to do but ended up sitting there feeling defeated by Tina’s teasing.

After thinking it through, Lolth felt pretty confident in her guess.

Using the strategic thinking skills learned from playing strategy games came in handy for understanding the relationships between girls too.

So, Lolth lifted Isabella up from the ground and patted her on the shoulder.

"It’s okay to not know things, it’s your first time after all. Don’t feel so down. Just listen to Tina’s advice, she’s experienced," Lolth thought carefully, speaking like a wise elder. "Luckily, you didn’t act recklessly, who knows what could’ve happened! You could’ve been in big trouble!"

Comforting Isabella, Lolth couldn’t help but give her some advice.

In the laboratory, there were not many seeds and young plants left. If Isabella accidentally killed some of them due to her lack of experience, it would be a huge problem to cultivate more.

When Isabella heard these words, they took on a different meaning for her.

"Would something bad have happened if I had continued last night?"

Isabella was confused at first, but then she understood the reason.

It seemed like her soul had been damaged because she had "disobeyed orders." If she continued to resist the succubus’ will, she might end up becoming foolish.

That wasn’t what Isabella wanted.

After realizing this, Isabella paid attention to the first half of what Lolth had said.

It seems like they weren’t planning to hold themselves accountable?

Tina was also surprised to hear Lolth forgive Isabella.

"Master Lolth, are you not going to punish this person?"

She couldn’t help but ask.

This sentence made Lolth look at Tina strangely.

"This elf lady surprisingly holds grudges…"

Despite thinking this, Lolth didn’t show it.

However, Tina’s words also reminded Lolth.

This behavior not only goes against the rules but also seems a bit too secretive.

Even though the "nobles" need to be taught "no work, no food", we shouldn’t go too far!

Working overtime late at night to surprise the boss… This kind of behavior should never happen at the Interrogation Department!

This is a place where people often slack off!

So Lolth also raised her tone a bit.

"Oh, let it go this time, but… it shouldn’t happen again!"

Isabella, feeling down because she didn’t receive any "punishment" to prove herself, suddenly felt energized when she heard this.

"So… will you kill me when the time comes?"

She asked Lolth, looking at her.

This question startled Lolth.

"How is that possible, I definitely won’t kill you!"
